Thanks for that link! Just what I needed to put the hammer down on the Escort Passport 9500ix. Also ordered the BlendMount kit and Invisicord. :banana:

Using my Valentine 1 Hardwire kit that I used on my last vehicle. Not sure where to Ground it though with the prong attachment. Found the green as you labeled above but would like to simply find a screw connected to metal so i can ground it. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!! I'm planning on getting an '11 TE and have several ideas that I could use the BlendMount for.

Here's where I'm at right now. If I'm not able to turn V1 on with my current grounding options, I'm going to have to strip the wires as illustrated above.
